This is a baked sandwich using frozen bread dough, meat, and cheese. My picky eaters love this for an easy weeknight meal and it's great served with a soup. My family fights over the leftovers!
Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board
This Christmas tree charcuterie board is special for Christmas, and quite popular at gatherings. Use kale, herbs, or greens to suggest a tree, then decorate your "tree" to your heart's content. Use what you have, because it's all in the arrangement. Use different greens, or different cold cuts, walnuts instead of pecans, add some veggies, or not—you decide. Get creative and have fun!
